My dad got up every morning and put on a long sleeve white dress shirt, a suit and a tie and went to work. No air in the home or at work. He tried to get the company to agree to short sleeve shirts but they would not. It was just the way it was. So who was I to complain. You just got used to it.
I imagine you would have to, but I can not stand the heat. Every time I am in Houston it seems to be 99 deg with 99% humidity. Just too darn hot.
